Vegetarian budget meal plan

Vegetarian grocery budgets often go down when you swap expensive meat with beans, lentils, tofu, eggs, and dairy.

A strong vegetarian budget plan leans on low-cost proteins and repeatable base ingredients. Lentils, beans, eggs, tofu, yogurt, rice, pasta, oats, and frozen vegetables let you build filling meals for much less than a meat-heavy list.

The biggest mistake is replacing meat with expensive specialty products at every meal. Instead, use whole-food proteins and reserve processed substitutes for variety.
